Ingredients for sausage, onions, and peppers in the air fryer on a white countertop.

Sausage – We use a 14 oz package of smoked sausage. Smoked sausage, andouille sausage, kielbasa…any will work, so grab what you prefer.

Peppers- Any color bell peppers will work. Go ahead and get one green and one red if you aren’t sure which way to go!

Onion– A single yellow onion is sufficient for this recipe.

Seasoning– You will need olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for the basic version, but feel free to throw in any spices you like. Cajun seasoning is always popular around here. We like Tony’s.

Consider what you may want to serve with this and get that cooking, too! This is perfect over a bed of rice, with mashed potatoes, or alongside an air fryer baked potato or our roasted sweet potato cubes.

  • Veggies – Slice the peppers and onion into strips and place in a bowl. Drizzle on the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning to coat.

FAQ:

How can I change the seasonings on this air fryer sausage and peppers recipe?

We love these sausage and peppers with Italian seasoning, but there are many seasoning blends that taste great with this recipe. Try seasoning to taste with Cajun seasoning, ranch dressing mix, or a Philly cheese steak seasoning. We also love a simple blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

How should I store my leftovers?

Keep them in an air tight container in your fridge. They will last 4-5 days. When it is time to reheat, throw them back in your air fryer at 370 until warm. This should take around five minutes.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice the sausage into ½ inch thick rounds. Slice the peppers and onions into thin strips, about ¼ inch wide.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the sausage to a mixing bowl and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Sprinkle with about ¼ of the seasoning and stir to coat the sausage in the seasoning.

  • While the sausage is cooking, add the peppers and onions to a mixing bowl and drizzle with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning and stir to coat.

Notes

We also like this recipe with cajun seasoning in place of Italian seasoning. It adds a nice spice.
Serve alongside a green salad or over rice for a simple dinner.

    I have been making a similar recipe for years! But, rather than Italian seasoning, I use soy sauce and sesame oil for an Asian infusion!! But the process is basically the same – I marinate the sausage slices in soy sauce/sesame oil. I serve it over rice.

    on the print link provided by this page I got 17 pages printed out for the recipe. Do you think it was necessary to print out that number of pages just to get this recipe printed out. Looks like I’ve got a big job of editing this “Booklet”. It would have been easier for me to just COPY-N-PASTE.

      Hi Richard,

      Of course I don’t think it was necessary to print the entire blog post. I wasn’t aware this was an issue and will get our tech support to look into it. In the meantime, you can use the print button located within the actual recipe card to print just the recipe.
